Feel Social Change: Caregivers, Healers, and the Enneagram's Feeling Triad (7-12-2026)

<p>The second sermon in The Pulpiteer&#39;s four-part series reading Deepa Iyer&#39;s social change ecosystem — from her book <em>Social Change Now</em>, the 2025–26 Unitarian Universalist Association common read — through a developmental lens drawn from the Enneagram&#39;s centers: gut, heart, and head; plus spirit.</p><p>This episode turns from gut to heart: the feeling triad, whose underlying struggle is shame, and the two ecosystem roles where heart energy finds its work — Caregivers and Healers. Along the way: Brené Brown&#39;s distinction between shame (&quot;I am a bad thing&quot;) and guilt (&quot;I did a bad thing&quot;), the oxygen-mask problem of self-care for people who pour themselves out, a river parable that separates the caregiver&#39;s call from the healer&#39;s, why the ecosystem view frees us from ranking our role above anyone else&#39;s, and how the one-year anniversary of the July 2025 Texas Hill Country floods shows both roles at work in Kerr County today.</p><p>The Great World House reflection honors the flood anniversary and the ongoing work of recovery. The Voice of Wisdom, from Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson&#39;s <em>The Wisdom of the Enneagram</em>, is read by Keith Hutchinson.</p><p>Recorded live at San Gabriel Unitarian Universalist Fellowship in Georgetown, Texas.</p><p>Read the companion essay on Medium: &quot;Feel Social Change&quot; by Eric Hepburn.</p><p><br></p>
